How to Use This Attu Station, Alaska Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Attu Station, Alaska. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Alaska or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Attu Station.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Attu Station, Alaska

Attu Station is a locality in Aleutians West, Alaska, United States. It is a small community with a population of 13. Attu Station is located at 52.8802°N, 173.2561°E. It observes the Hawaii-Aleutian Time (America/Adak) timezone.

Attu Station emerges from the vast, subarctic interior as a silent witness to the immense, crushing scale of the northern wilderness. It lies 1478.1 miles west of Anchorage, AK (from Anchorage, AK: bearing 264°T). The landscape is defined by the deep, cavernous expanse of West Massacre Valley, where the earth seems to hold its breath under the weight of an unyielding, gray sky. To the north, the jagged silhouette of Gilbert Ridge cuts a serrated line against the horizon, its slopes perpetually shivering in the biting wind that sweeps across the tundra. Near the center of this desolate basin, the glassy surface of Elwood Lake mirrors the clouds, while the nearby Peaceful River carves a narrow, winding path through the permafrost, its waters running cold and clear across the barren plains.

Attu Station exists as a profound relic within the Attu Battlefield And U.S. Army And Navy Airfields National Historic Landmark, where the silence of the present is heavy with the gravity of mid-century conflict. The ground here remains scarred by the remnants of military activity, serving as a stark reminder of a time when the world reached into this remote corner of the continent to claim its territory. Today, the economy of Attu Station is non-existent in the traditional sense, as the site has transitioned from an active theater of operation into a preserved monument to the human cost of war. The atmosphere is one of profound isolation, where the passage of time is measured not by the clock, but by the slow, seasonal shifts of light across the tundra and the enduring stillness of the abandoned airfields.
